Currently in its pilot iteration\, the DWR Fund intends to: \n\nReduce the wage gap between individual freelance dancers and living wage standards in the NYC metropolitan area;\nIncentivize equitable labor practices by promoting the widespread use of contracts; and\nAddress systemic inequities by prioritizing the most underpaid and underprotected groups of dance workers including African\, Latina/o/x\, Asian\, Arab\, and Native American (ALAANA); disabled; immigrant; older adults; women-identifying; gender nonconforming/nonbinary/genderqueer; and transgender dancers.\n\nDance/NYC will award one-time flat grants of $1\,000 to individual freelance dancers in the metropolitan New York City area for contracted dance work that includes a public performance or presentation taking place within the NYC metro area\, completed between January 1\, 2025\, and April 30\, 2026. Rehearsals are recognized as work\, but projects are only eligible if the final performance or presentation occurs within the NYC metro area.

Awards will be determined through a weighted lottery system. \nELIGIBILITY:  \n\nAre 18 or older;\nLive in the metropolitan NYC area (including the five boroughs of NYC\, as well as Nassau\, Rockland\, Suffolk\, and Westchester counties in New York State\, and Bergen and Hudson counties in New Jersey) and are able to provide proof of address;\nAre able to provide a fully executed contract that shows:\n\n​The contractor was:\n\nContracted for project-based dance work that includes a public performance or presentation; and\nContracted specifically as a dancer (note that choreographers are welcome to apply if they are also functioning as a dancer in the contracted work and can supply a contract to this effect).\nProvided via contract information on location\, pay rate\, contract period\, working hours and breaks\, payment terms\, dancer role\, independent contractor status\, and contractee information.\n\n\nThe contracted work occurred\n\nWithin the period of January 1\, 2025 to April 30\, 2026 with applications being accepted until March 2026\nThe performance or public presentation took place within the metropolitan NYC area (rehearsals alone do not qualify).\n\n\n\n\nAre able to provide the following information to process ACH bank transfers of awards:\n\nA complete W-9 Form; and\nBank Account Number and Routing Number.\n\nIf you are unable to receive funds via direct deposit\, your grant will be processed via check.\n\n\n\n\n\nYou are encouraged to apply if you are a current or past grantee of Dance/NYC or if you have not previously been funded by Dance/NYC.\nApplicants are not eligible to apply if they: \n\nAre under the age 18;\nLive outside of the metropolitan NYC area;\nAre being represented by a company (applications must be submitted by individual dancers);\nSubmit a contract including:\n\nwork distinguishing the applicant as a full time or ongoing employee (versus an independent contractor);\nwork as a non-dancer (e.g.\, choreographer who is not functioning as a dancer in the work\, arts administrator\, producer\, etc.);\nwork beyond the range of January 1\, 2025 to April 30\, 2026; or\nwork outside of the NYC metropolitan area.\n\n\n\nUPCOMING DEADLINE: March 3\, 2026

SUMMARY:Winning Works Choreographic Competition 2027
DESCRIPTION:Winning Works is The Joffrey Ballet’s annual choreographic competition for emerging artists. A mission-driven\, access-oriented initiative\, Winning Works upholds The Joffrey Ballet’s core values of Joffrey for All\, providing opportunities for everyone\, regardless of background\, to experience\, support\, and participate in dance. \nThe award recognizes talented emerging choreographers whose unique perspectives inspire creativity through original works of dance. Through Winning Works\, The Joffrey aims to broaden access for artists who have been historically excluded from the art form and empower them to help shape the future of dance. \nEach year\, five choreographers—including one Chicago-based emerging artist—are selected to create new works in collaboration with dancers from the Grainger Academy of The Joffrey Ballet. Selected artists receive a $5\,000 stipend\, a minimum of 30 rehearsal hours\, and travel and accommodations for the duration of their residency. \nELIGIBILITY: \nThe Joffrey Ballet is looking for talented choreographers with 2+ years of experience setting work on classically trained dancers. Applicants must be 21 years of age or older and living in the U.S. or be able to cover travel expenses to the U.S.\, including visa application fees. Choreographers who have previously been selected for and participated in Winning Works are not eligible. Choreographers who have previously applied but were not selected or were selected but ultimately could not participate are encouraged to re-apply. \nDEADLINE: July 31\, 2026
